Problem
Borders. How do we understand borders in Asia, and buy extension in the making (Orr unmaking) of Asian art? It is this question that I want you to answer this week. I want you to read the article by Anning Jing about a Nepali artist in the Yuan court. What does this suggest about mobility? Having read the article, I want you to watch this video:
How to build a border at 4600 meters, Vox Borders, YouTube video: "Building a border at 4,600 meters".
What is this borders telling us? Now comparing the movement of a Nepali artist in the 1300s to the movement of the nomads in the 2000s, what has changed? And why is this change so significant? What is it telling us about Asia in the twenty-first century?
